To (all whom, t www concer/e:

Be it known thatl, VILLIAM C. Heumen, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, county of Kings, and State oli' New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Slides, fully described and represented in the followingspecification and the accompanying' drawings, Vforming a part of the same.

rlhis invention relates to a novel slide or' that class used for adjustably holding webbing-as for instance, in Suspenders, stocking-supporters, and the like.

The especial object of the invention is to secure a strong hold of the webbing by rounded surfaces, thus avoiding the cuttingor tearing of the material, and to secure the adjustment and iirm holding or' the webbing without the usual hinged clasp. Isecure these results and at the same time provide a slide of improved appearance by the use of beaded surfaces, between which the webbing is held.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specilieation, the invention is shown as applied in its preferred Yforni to a suspender slide, and this construction will now be described in detail and the features forming the invention particularly pointed out in the claims.

lin the drawings, Figure l is a front view of a suspender-end provided with my slide. Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same, showing the slide in section. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the slide.

Referring to said drawings, A is the usual webbing suspender-end carrying the buttonpiece B, shown as hung in a loop in the webbing A.

The slide C is formed of three bars a, b c, cach oit which is provided with the beads l. This slide is preferably formed of beaded wire, as shown, and may conveniently be made oi: a single piece. As shown, the end orI the loop of the webbing A, in which the buttonpiece B is suspended, secured about the middle bar bof the slide C, and the webbing passes between the middle bar and the two side bars a c, so as to be held by the beaded surfaces under the pressure produced by the pull on the webbing. adjust the slide on the webbing, it is necessary only to bring the webbing on opposite sides of the slide into a position approaching' right angles to the slide, and the webbing' may then be moved readily through the slide and adjusted as desired.

It will be understood that the invention is not limited to the speciiic form of slide shown, but that this may be varied while retaining the invention as deiined by the claims.

What I claim isl. A slide for holding webbing and the like having the three beaded bars c, I), c spaced i apart for the passage et the webbing.

2. The slide C formed ot' beaded wire and having the three holding-bars fr, 6, c.

In testimony whereofl I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

WILLIAM C. HOWARD.
